ACP builds 3 basic versions of
capstan winches to suit various applications. Shown below
are the L series, C series and W series winches.

Specification charts and prices are located
at the bottom of this page.

The winch at the left is a L series
model LHB7-RC shown with the optional attachment plate
and rope guide. A wide variety of attachments and
accessories can be found on the winch options
page.

L Series Capstan Winches

The large
capstan on the L series is advantageous when working at
higher speeds or with larger diameter ropes.

The LH is the heavy
duty version. The LS version is the same basic winch with
a lighter and less powerful drive unit. The LS series is
well suited for higher speed applications where less
capacity is needed.

Three mounting
styles are available for all models. The model
number suffix indicates the type of mount.

LH 7-F

Fixed
mount version. Also available with RF or RC
mounts.

Dimensions:
12 1/4 in. high x 11 1/4 in. wide x 15 3/4 in.
long.

Weight:
110 lb.

LH 7-RF

RF
style rotating base. The RF pivot is offset to
the capstan. This allows the capstan to swing out
so the rope can clear vehicles or fixtures.

Base
rotates 360 degrees

60
positions. Base locks in 6 degree increments

The
winch can be lifted off of the base when the
locking pin is removed.

Dimensions:
14 1/2 in. high x 11 1/4 in. wide x 17 in. long.

Weight:
125 lb.

LHB
7-RC

Shown
with the RC style rotating base. The RC mount has
the same features as the RF version above, except
the pivot is located in the center of the winch.
The RC requires less room to rotate 360 degrees.
RF or F mounts are also available on the LHB
models.

The
LHB series have a spring applied, hydraulically
released, multi-disc wet brake. All of the L
series winches brake hydraulically. Internal
hydraulic clearances can allow the capstan to
slowly creep back. The brake holds the capstan so
the load can be held for an extended period of
time without drifting out of position.

The
spring brake also provides additional protection
in the event of a hydraulic failure.

Comes
standard with a manifold style mount dual
counterbalance valve. See winch options for more information on
counterbalance valves.

The
brake is located inside the capstan as a space
saving feature.

Reversible.
Brake and counterbalance valves operate in both
directions.

A
case drain is required on LHB versions only.

Dimensions:
16 in. high x 12 in. wide x 16 in. long.

Weight:
140 lb.

LS 5-RC

Shown
with the RC mount. All LS models are also
available with RF or F mounts.

Shown
with the drum lock option. The ratchet type
action locks the capstan in the reverse direction
only. The winch brakes and holds the load
hydraulically. The drum lock eliminates any
hydraulic creep and allows the load to be held
for an extended period of time without drifting
out of position. See winch options for more information about
the drum lock.

Without
the drum lock option, the back rim of the LS
capstans have no notches and are smooth like the
LH capstans shown above.

C
series capstans have specially designed drums
that have traction and grip equal to larger drums
of typical design.

The
CH version provides a powerful, heavy duty unit
in a compact, portable size.

Can
handle up to 1 inch diameter rope. If used often
with ropes larger than 3/4 inch, the larger L
series is recommended.

Large
heavy duty, slow turning hydraulic motors assure
a long life.

All
of the CH models shown below are available with
either a 30, 50 or 70 size drive unit. The model
suffix designates the style of winch. A CH 70 is
about 3 pounds heavier than a CH 50 and a CH 50
is about 4 pounds heavier than a CH 30.

The
CL version has the same size capstan and a
lighter, less powerful drive unit for
applications where less capacity is needed.
